Abstract
-
en_US
A magnificent book. An impressive array of fables divided carefully according to source into four books, each with multiple parts. By comparison with its counterpart, The Book of Fables (1921), this edition has some 200 more pages covering modern fables. For the first 275 pages of text, this book uses the same plates as that but has bigger margins. This copy is in very good condition. The twenty-four colored illustrations are excellent. Their sharpness here helps to give them much more life and expression than they have in copies. The best of them are FM (8), The Eagle and the Turtle (59), The Hare and the Hound (102), and The Kite and the Pigeons (138). Originally sold at Hudson's in Detroit.
